lEither oi' the` magazines l and 2 ot the up per et may he brought intooperative position simultaneously with either of the magazines 3 or loi' the lower set. this result being scoured hy the independentadjustment of the respective Shift frames A and B. .For instance,magazines 9 and 3 are shown i1 action in Fig'. l, and magazines l and tin action in Fig, Q.l may ne employed for'lthis adjuetment ot the shifttrames. In the drawings, I have shown the frame A. as connected to thelongitudinally movable, plunger or cylinder J, and the frame B to theplunger K located within the tfi'liniler .l1 The "vlinder J iS movedlongitudinally hy the serew J revolul ly mounted in the main trame 'lland engaging the lugf J1* on the cylinder. and the, plunger K h v thesimilarly mounted revoluble screw K engaging directly therewith. Thescrews J and K' are resi'iectively provided at their lower endsl withthe bevel pinions J2 and K2' (see also Fig. 4), adapted to he engagedand operated by the doublefaeed hevol pinion L. mounted on the shaft Mand connected thereto by a spline s0 as to he moved into engagement witheither ot the piniom J2' or .KJ as may\ho desired. 'the shaft M is showna5: angularlv'located and Connected al one end to the Shaft M', whiehma)v he rotated when desired hy the handleI N. whereby one or the otherof the trames A and l" may he :shifted rthe menne for enfraging theartuating pinion L with the piniom lf anfl lK proteralilyv rompi'in thehand leier O, linl(` O', and pivoted lover OZ engaging the hub L of thepinion L, in suvh .manner that the movementot'the lever t) in oppositediret;- tions eonneets the pinion l. with either the pinion J2 or pinionK2, and permits the ele vation or depression ol` the Connected shiftframe by the manipulation of the handle N, t0 bring the seleftr-ilmagazine into operative relation to the oorrwponding aSeemnling anddistributing mechanisms.

Any Suitable means may be employed for gister-ing and locking theselected magazines: in position` sui-h for infitunee. as those presentedin the application l'ur Letters Pat ent of (lohn It. Rogers. #ei-iat.No. 6241.426. To demonstrate this eapahility, I' have shown the lowerShift trame ll as adapted to he engaged by the longitndiaallyv movablelocking rod P, which ia operated through the connections Q hy theendwise mowment of the handle N, all as srt l'orth in the said lingersapplication. For purposes of simny suitable meanS\ plicity ofillustration, such registering and lorking devices are not shown asapplied to the upper shift frame A, but obviously may he applied theretoif desired.

A5 previously stated, I have shown my in `vention only in preferred formand by way ofY example., and obviously many modificai tions and changes;thereinaand in its mode of adaptation, will themselves to those skilledin the art without departure from its scope.

Having thus described my invention, its. Construction and molle otoperation, what l claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of theUnited States, is as follows:

l. In a typographical mar line, the combi-` nation of two sets otmagazines, each set comprising' a pluralitiT of magazines and bev ingmoralile independently of the other to eilig-rt a change from onemagazine to another as to operative position: wherebv different pairs ofmagazines may be Selected lor eonjoint use.

ln a typographical machine, the com-- hination ot' a plurality ofmagazines alv ranged in series and divided into sets, and supportingframes. one for each set, the said frames being movable independently ofeach other to effect a Change from one magazine to another.

Il. ln a typographical machine, the comhination of a plurality of setsof magazines, and means for movingr said esta, one independently ofanother, to ell'ect a change from one magazine to another.

l. in a typographical machine, the com hination of a plurality ol' Seteof magazines, a mipporting traine tor eat/'li Set, and means l'or movingsaid frames independently of each other to ell'ert a change from oneniagar/ ine to another.

5. In a typographieal machine, the combination of a plurality ofmagazines divided into il'nlepenilent sets one overlying another, :intlmeans for moving said sets bodily with reference to each other toetl'eet a change from one magazine to another.

o. la a typographical machine, the combination of a plurality ofmagazines arranged in series and divided into sets one overlyin another,and a .supporting trame for eac sot, the said trainen hiring movablebodily toward and `trom each other to effect a Change from ono magazineto another.

T. lin a vpographieal machine. the Combination olr a pluralitv ol' setsot' magazines, sep-.irate adjusting; mean :tor moving said setsindependently. and common operating devices for said adjusting means.

In a typographieal machine, the comhination of a` series of niovalitomagazines divided into sets. each eet comprising a pluralii)v ol' maggon an ausemliler entrance. for each set magazines adapted to eo operatewith only one magazine therein at a nisin whereby one or another of themugre zine? in said ser muy be connected to the as senilling mechanismwithout disturbing the connection of :i magazine of another Set to theassembling mechanism.

24.111 n ljfpographien] machine, the combination or' two distributingmechanisms, and two .eens ol' magazines, one of said sets Comprising f1plninuiv ol' magazines, und the smid set :and its corresponding disibutn ing me mnism being relatively movable to connect one or :neitherof the magazines therein with the distril'vuting mechanism vvillmiitdisturbing` the relation between the other et und its distribuningmechanism.

A. in u typographical machine. the com biuaation of two assemblerentrances, and two sets ol magazines. one of d sets ComprisA ing .fxplurality of magazines, and the Said set :ind ils mrrespon lingnssenibler entrance beingy i'elaively movable to conneet one or anelli rof the magazines therein with the assen'ibler enlrnnee, without.disturbing the relation beween alle other setand its assenb blerentranee.

2V, ln n lvvpogmpliicnl machine, the con1- binntion of tivo een; ofmagazines each provvided with escapemouts, the several sets being'movable independently of each other to bring one or another pair ofmagazines into operative positionA and leviees for actuating theesoapeinents of the selected pair.

-i. In e tvnoeriiphiciil machine, the cornninulion of a` plurality ofsuperposed magazines, divided into sets which are movable relatively toeach other to bring one or another pair of magazines into operativeposition, n series of escapements for each of the magazines, and devicesfor actuating the es cnpements of the parir in operative position.

28. In a typographioal machine, the com binlition of two sets ofmagazines movable independentlyvof each other te bring one or anotherpair of magazines into operative position, u keyboard mechanism commonto both sets of nmgnzines, sind means for connecting the keyboardmechanism to one or the other ol" the magazines of the selected pair.

29. ln n typographie machine, the combi` nntion ol" n plurality ofmagazines usable in pairs. and euch provided w th escapernents, the Suidmagazines being niovnbly arranged so :is to effect u change from onepair to another, and a single series of devices for activ ating theeseupemens of the two selected ninguzii'ies, the said device-s being;rmounted so ns to be movable ino engagement with the escapenlents of oneor another of said magazines as required.

ln testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of twoWitnesses.
